NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Saints’ transition into life after quarterback Drew Brees retired has been … well … more painful than expected.
First Jameis Winston tore the ACL in his left knee in Week 8 after helping the Saints to a promising 5-2 start. Then, Trevor Siemian went 0-4 as starting quarterback, in part because of an overwhelming barrage of injuries throughout the lineup around him.
Now, Taysom Hill will take his turn in the rotation Thursday night (8:20 p.m. ET, FOX/NFL Network) against the Dallas Cowboys (7-4) -- while battling his own lingering foot injury.
